Likely just a regional thing. Ants where I live tend to be slightly larger than our mosquitos, and they certainly have far more volume.

When you say "far larger", is that twice as big? 10 times bigger? 1000 times bigger? I might have to avoid where you live.


The ladybug one must be way off, where do they have 1cm large ladybugs? That sounds terrifying. I'd say our mosquitos are closer to 1cm, although they're long but thin.

There's more of these which are really weird, like the 12m cactus.


It's probably a seven-spot ladybird; those average about 10mm. I can assure you that they aren't terrifying at all.
